STEAM GENERATOR.

Application led December 15, 1926, Serial No. 154,953, and in Germany October 5, 1925.

This invention relates to a steam gener- ,ator and consists in the pro-vision of a heatinterchanging coil through which the water is circulated by means of a centrifugal I separator which at the same time separates off and delivers the steam, the separator being provided with a rotor having vanes adapted to perform a pumping action.

The invention is illustrated diagraml matically in the accompanying drawing.

The water is heated by any suitable means in a pipe coil a which is connected at the top to the intake and at the bottom to the out- Vflow of acentrifugal separator e driven by l a motor b. The rotor c of the separator is `fitted with vanes d enabling it to act as a "rotary pump for circulating the water through the pipes and through the coil a.. Suicientpressure and speed is kept up for maintaining the coil a full of water and preventing steam separation in the latter so that no parts of the coil will be exposed to overheating. The steam is separated off in the central chamber of the separator e and led away through a pipe A storage chamber z' for Water and steam surmounts the apparatus and communicates with the lower end of the coil. The pipe h leads into the steam space of the chamber 1' whence the steam passes off to the place of consumption.

By effecting the steam separation entirely in the separator in this manner, there is no need7 in the case of large generators for yery high pressure, to have a correspondchamber. A
